PENCE-GAS STATION EMPIRE — The collapse of Kiel Bros. Oil Co. — the Indiana business once run by vice president Mike Pence’s family that primarily operated under the name Tobacco Road — was widely publicized. But the company’s environmental legacy at more than 85 contaminated sites across three states is far less known. Indiana alone has spent at least $21 million on the cleanup, or an average of about $518,000 per site, according an analysis of records by The Associated Press. And the work is nowhere near complete.
